"I thought the course was well organized and allowed plenty of opportunity to speak the language and learn the history of Salerno and the surrounding cities. It was a good experience, I wouldn't change a thing, except the weather. Everyone was great. No improvements necessary, great job. All the teachers and staff were very nice and helpful. Nice job. My host mother was kind, she spoke and fed me. Also, she seemed genuinely concerned with my well-being. Overall, it was a great experience. It was a wonderful experience. In the future, I would like to stay longer and arrive in the summer."

"I spent 3 weeks in Salerno studying at Accademia Italiana. I chose this school because I love the Amalfi coast, and thought it would be a great base for spending time there. I was not disappointed! I loved everything about my experience in Salerno. The location of the school is ideal, I was very happy with the course, my teacher was fantastic and my Italian improved greatly, the other teachers and administration staff were also excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the excursions we went on, the optional seminars that the school put on for the students a few times a week, and going out with other students to local restaurants and bars, doing our best to communicate with each other and the locals in Italian. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend this school to others".
